What is "Wild Honey Pie"? I've never heard of that song.

An awesome Beatles song, on The White Album. The Pixies covered it making it even more awesome.

Oh, lol I thought we were still talking about The Smashing Pumpkins, my bad. That song is one of the highlights off of Pixies' Pixies at the BBC. The original version by The Beatles isn't really a highlight off The Beatles [White Album].

No, but it's better than we only come out at night by far

You know looking back on it, X.Y.U. is actually a pretty cool song.

AND INTO THE EYES OF THE JACKAL I SAY KABOOM!

Thats a good phrase to say right before you blow someones brains out with a shotgun.

X.Y.U just might be my fave actually. Epic brilliance, perfect if you're feeling angsty.

It was when this album was released that I stopped listening to The Smashing Pumpkins

Too clean for you, Subpop?

I quite like Melon Collie. I find Gish a bit too messy.

Machina and the Machines of God has one of the worst second halves to any album I've ever heard.
